Acupuncture might relieve headache pain

March 2, 2006 (WLS) -- People who deal with migraines might find relief in a drug-free alternative treatment.

Acupuncture has been shown to relieve nausea, stress, arthritis pain in the knee and pelvic pain during pregnancy.

Scientists say they need to do more research to find out the biological effects behind acupuncture.
